The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali | Swami Satchidananda
This valuable book provides a complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. This new edition of these timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras (thought-threads), at least four thousand years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. In this classic context, Sri Swami offers practical advice, based on his own experience, for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental, and emotional harmony.

Required reading for my 300 hour yoga teacher training, and I‘m a little intimidated. I‘m up to the challenge, though!

Velvetfur Wow, that's so cool that you'll be a yoga teacher! I bet that book will be a real enlightenment for you too 🙂 4y
BarkingMadRead Thanks @Velvetfur I have my 200 hour certification already, this is extending it to 500 total hours! So much more learning! 4y
Velvetfur @BarkingMadRun That's fab! I bet its really interesting learning too 🙂 4y
BethM You got this! We just did this in my 200hr that I finished in June. Google has a lot of really good breakdowns! What an exciting journey! 4y
ChasingOm We read this translation in my 200 YTT as well. I wound up loving it and buying some different versions, lol. 4y

I had 5 weeks off work due to the pandemic during which I had all the time in the world to learn whatever I wanted. And instead I chose my first day back to work to compulsively decide to start Yoga Teacher Training. 🧘🏻‍♀️

SW-T Good luck with your yoga teacher training! 5y

“As the mind, so the person; bondage or liberation are in your own mind.” If you feel bound, you are bound. If you feel liberated, you are liberated. Things outside neither bind nor liberate you; only your attitude toward them does that.

I love and hate this at the same time. I have a tendency to run from it when I struggle instead of embrace it...I really need to work on that.

Just got to the 8 limbs of yoga in the Yoga Sutras today. I had no idea it was so far into the book. Lots of good stuff before it about changing your outlook and attitude to change your life. I learned about the 8 limbs in my instructor course but I'm excited to see what the original text says about it.

Judgy cat, sleepy dog, Yoga Sutras, and nature sounds on the earbuds, while boyfriend watched El Camino. Everyone wins!

Good advice reposted from @MinDea and a few others. This is timely for me because my homework from last week‘s training was to pick a tenet from the yoga sutras and I‘m trying to practice Ahimsa (non-violence) by being more kind. ❤️❤️ May we all be happy and healthy and strong and free from harm. #bekind

My evening reading for the past few nights. One sutra a night means I'll be done in about 7 months. 😂 (My Yoga Teacher Training still has 12 months to go, to put it in perspective...) 🕉 #yoga #chasingOM

bookloo You‘re training to teach yoga?! I wish you were here, we don‘t have many. I have to do it at home with Yoga with Adriene. :) Namaste, and good luck. 🙇🏾‍♀️ 🙏🏽 (edited) 7y
ChasingOm I am, @bookloo! Maybe one day I'll end up in your neck of the woods and we can do some down 🐶 together! 😂 7y
Reecaspieces @bookloo I live an hour from the nearest yoga studio (and any bookstore😳😫). I do a lot of my yoga at home. Check out Leslie fightmaster, heart alchemy yoga. There are several others. But I really enjoy those on you tube. 7y
bookloo @Reecaspieces Ahh! Thank you! I know Fightmaster (she introduced me to Ashtanga—my fave!), but I‘ve never heard of Heart Alchemy! Will check that out very soon. ☺️ 7y
Reecaspieces @bookloo there are a good many on you tube....it has been my saving grace. Enjoy! 7y

I started my day & week on the mat this am with these yoga sutras. Just startinh but enjoying so far, the intro draws the paralells between Buddhist & Hindu philosophy and the great epics. Reccomended if you want to understand your practice more deeply.
